My research would be based on Nayar of India, and their customs. Before reaching puberty, Nayar women in India were married to a man according to the Talikettukalydnam rite. This three days of actual or mock defloration might be their last living contact. A man could have an unlimited number of wives. Each woman would take up twelve sandbanham husbands, who visited her one at a time at night. A woman getting pregnant could have any one of up to 12 as the father. Support often came from brothers, sisters, and children of the sisters and daughters. There was no economic unit regarding husbands and wives, no sharing of the residence between husbands and wives. Only the women within their supporting kinship groups lived with children, and any relationship affection from the man was taboo and resisted by the kinship group. Matrifocal families are economic necessities due to poverty; matriarchal families are cultural outcomes of poverty and even choices. By not having just one husband, a woman may be able to make arrangements with several men and benefit economically from them for herself and in raising children. Na-yar Hindu caste also spelled Nair. Nair is the name of a Hindu upper caste from the southern Indian state of Kerala. The Nairs were martial nobility and figured prominently in the history of Kerala.

The Nairs were classed as a martial race by the British, however were de-listed after rebelling against them under Velu Thampi Dalawa, and thereafter recruited in lower numbers into the British Indian Army. Only Nairs were recruited into the Thiruvithamkoor Nayar Pattalam (Travancore State Army), until 1945 when non-Nairs were admitted to join. This State Force (known also as the Nair Brigade) was merged into the Indian Army after independence and became the 9th Battalion Madras Regiment (the oldest Battalion in the Indian Army).

Legal Brief Assignment No. 2
FACTS:
Dan is a trained paralegal who works for Erie Bank in Lakewood, Ohio. One day, Mary walks into the bank to apply for a mortgage loan to purchase a new house. She and Dan have a long conversation about Mary taking out a mortgage. Mary is concerned that were she to default on her loan, her credit would be destroyed. In response, Dan tells her:
Don’t worry about it. If you don’t pay your loan, the only remedy the bank has is to foreclose on the house. The bank cannot go after you personally and your credit score will be unaffected. I’ve been dealing with this issue for years and I’m telling you that this is the Ohio law on the matter.
Unfortunately, it turns out that Dan was incorrect. When Mary defaults on her loan the next year, her credit is badly hurt.
ISSUE:
Whether, under Ohio Law, is Dan subject to a civil liability to Mary for his legal advice regarding her default on her mortgage loan, foreclosure, and bad credit rating? Did Dan practice unauthorized practice of law?

What should be done with Professor Smut? Professor Smut should be fired from Edinboro University. For the following reasons he violated the First Amendment, academic freedom, and may have caused damage to the students. The First Amendment states that, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.”
Professor Smut violated academic freedom, “The standard established in these cases requires a plaintiff who alleges a hostile environment to prove that sexual advances and comments are “sufficiently severe or pervasive ‘to alter the conditions of [the victim’s] employment and create an abusive working environment (Rutherglen 1)’” It’s problematic to categorize what is considered sexual harrasment. Men and women take and view harrasment differently. What men may find acceptable, women may find it offensive, and classify it as sexual harrasment. Academic freedom is the belief that the freedom of inquiry by faculty members is essential to the mission of the academy as well as the principles of academia, and that scholars should have freedom to teach or communicate ideas or facts without being targeted for repression, job loss, or...

...perceptions of of how other members of our social groups think and act. Social norms focus on peer influences which have a greater impact on individual behavior rather than biological, personality, familial, religious, cultural and other influences (Berkowitz & Perkins, 1986A; Perkins, 2002). Peer influences are based more on what we think our peers believe and do (the "perceived norm") than on their real beliefs and actions (the "actual norm"). This study will explore how the mere presence of others or the perception of their preferences can create a motivation to change one's behavior to conform to the rest of the groups behavior specifically relating to substance abuse.
INTRODUCTION
Social influences look at how individual thoughts, actions, and feelingd are influenced by social groups. Many students feel the pressure by their peers to conform to the groups social norm in order to feel accepted. Fix this. College drinking has become popular among all students throughout college campuses. Students are encouraged to “follow the crowd”. Extensive research has been done on social norms and how it influences behavior People conform to what others do in attempts to feel included. The following literature reviews attempt to support this hypothesis. Research done by (Dipali V. R., Clayton N., 2014) suggests that social norms are among the strongest influences on college drinking (Neighbors, Lee, Lewis, Fossos, & Larimer,...

Social Networking Sites (SNS) and their Impact on Grades
Background
Social Networking Sites (SNS) have become an integral part of the day-to-day lives of students. In today’s digital age, SNS has become the most-common platform to build and sustain social connections with people from all spheres of our lives. However, SNS, like everything else, can have positive as well as negative effects. Socializing online has become synonymous to “time-pass” activity as more and more students are engaging themselves in Online social media rather than in-person and outdoor activities. Hence, the intention of this research is to understand the standing of SNS usage on academic performance of college/university students .
Literature Review and Discussion
There have been a number of studies analyzing the impacts of Social Networking on students’ academic performance and grades. Furthermore, among all the SNS, Facebook has been targeted the most since it is the most popular site of all the SNS and has maximum impact on the majority of the population exposed to SNS.
For the purpose of this research, various academic journals researching different angles of the question in hand were analyzed. This was done to ensure the inclusion and consideration of as many perspectives of the topic as possible and to keep the research multi-faceted. The...

Nursing Research Critique
The purpose of this paper is to bring forth a greater understanding of the need to adhere to guidelines and instructions when dealing with venous leg ulcers. Venous leg ulcers are a result of chronic venous insufficiency (Heck, Grypdonck, Beele, Vanderwee, & Defloor, 2011, p. 430). These ulcers can often develop quickly and be hard to heal without intensive therapy and treatments. These ulcers can lead to decreased mobility, pain, a source of infection. Having an ulcer may lead to emotional and/or psychological problems due to the odors, appearance and pain caused by the site. This article reflects on the measures that can be taken at home to decrease the chances of developing ulcers and to help improve the outcomes of those that do already have venous ulcers.
